At the present rate …
At the present rate of energy consumption we will soon need 3 planet Earths. The status-quo is unsustainable. Either we do this volunarily, or the entire eco-system will collapse. Which would you prefer?

This is an old story, 60 Minutes or a NBC news program covered this in 2004.
No regulation means huge profits… and the with anyone or anything in their way.

in panama some guy invented a new fuel called M4 it works on gas cars with no changes need to be made to the car… it has been tested and aproved like 1000 times… but oil companies like this ones, and the us goverment (the owners of the ing monopoly) won’t let the guy sell it cause it will “impact” some pockets… the M4 fuel it’s made of ethanol and a little oil, it would be like 80% cheaper, it won’t harm the enviroment and it’s better for the ing car… read a bit more about it…

Yeah, well back in …
Yeah, well back in the 1940’s I could say the same thing about Germany who killed millions of people and wrecked the entire world either directly or indirectly. I would say quit pointing fingers and judge yourself before you judge someone else.

USA has done so much harm to the world… ther’s no way you people can be forgiven, but the rest of the world is not like you!! so we won’t start a war… please don’t you ever vote for someone who’s last name is bush… EVER AGAIN!!

Yea, let’s go back …
Yea, let’s go back to the old days of cutting wood and burning it to keep warm in those cold long winters and cooking our food. There won’t be a tree left on earth. But that wouldn’t impact the environment would it?

Some people (like …
Some people (like face) love to say how offensive it is that other countries “hate” the USA but they fail to ‘think’ about why that is, or maybe they think their country shouldn’t be accountable for wrong doings? It’s up to us to change how the world feels about us but we keep choosing that path of their dislike so we can not complain.
The why other don’t like us is very obvious. Should they really like us for how we destroy their communities and take their chances to survive?

e85 is the obvious answer oil companies fear it. cars that were designed to use only e85 could get over 40mpg

Ok! face, i …
Ok! face, i understand ur point.But I’m also pretty sure that there alternative methods to
oil and fossil fuels as resourses. But big oil
companies want to profit anywhere they can find it. So far we’re eslaved to them…

The environment …
The environment cannot sustain this type of abuse without horrific consequences which come at a cost to the common man.These mega corporation fail to realize that eventually these images will find there way to the public eye. Greed is like terminal cancer, it keeps eating at your very existence until there is nothing left.

This is disgusting. How can anyone watch this without getting sick to their stomach. If you’re not using Texaco products, it doesn’t matter. Oil is used to make an array of plastic items people in 1st worlds use every day. (25%)
